Re: Workshop, all walls framed

Only one window in the whole place? That's a bit...dark.

Talk to me more about audio cables. What kind of set up are you going to have?

Haha, Yeah only 1 window however, that 1 window catches the light all day, plus I expect that most of my time in here will be at night so I will install a vast but efficient lighting system ;D ;D ;D ;D

With the audio system I will be installing 4 epson speakers, they will have a direct audio feed for Ipod and the like, a feed from the computer, and another from the HD TV. I'm installing a AV rack under 1 of the benches to house the computer tower and dvd unit. Should work quite well

I'm using the K,I,S,S theory

Sorry to hear that , It was 1 of my must haves when we were looking at houses if it didn't have a garage I could use It would have to have the room to build 1 ;D and here we are......

...theory.

Very cool. When you get there please post pictures and brand names for your components. I'm building out my garage next year and I want to have a streamlines stereo system much like the one you described.

Re: Workshop, all walls framed

Well the weather wasn't any good this weekend to ruff cables, however there was still plenty to do. I managed to win a couple of items on evilbay for the shop, 8 twin fluro lights with cages for half of my lighting system only $120 and a 3 ton truck load of insulation for $60 (I shit you not a 3 ton truck load ) I also went out to a roofing reseller to look if they had what I needed, looks like we will order the roofing this week ;D so if everything works out We could have the roof on by next weekend

Re: Workshop, all cables in! & 1 wall insulated + covered

Then I got excited and put the insulatoin in and covered the back wall, not bad for a days work (even if I do say)

Damn dude. I might just build it into my garage budget to fly you out and have you do my cabling for me.

Re: Workshop, all cables in! & 1 wall insulated + covered

How come there is no roof yet? Doesn't that come before finishing up the walls?

I am aware I could be asking a really dumb question, but I saw the rain clouds in your picture and got worried ;D

Walls being finished in wood? Isn't that a lot more expensive than drywall? Another possible dumb question ;D

Haha yes the roof would normally go on before the internal walls are lined, However with how ive decided to do my roof I needed to build the walls completely before I can install the purlins, this also partley answers your question about lining the walls with plywood (12mm) the other part of the answer for using ply on the walls is because its 12mm thick wood and strong, very hard to put a hole in (accidentally ) you can put a screw in where ever you like and it also helps with the insulation blaa blaa blaa

with all that, if i finish lining all the walls this weekend, my roofing gets delivered next week so it could go on that weekend ;D ;D

love a bit of work dont I lololololol

Re: Workshop, all cables in! & 1 wall insulated + covered

Right on...Turning out great. Thats what I figured about the walls. Good call

 

[Hoosier Daddy]

Re: Workshop, all cables in! & 1 wall insulated + covered

You got me thinking stain and varnish that one wall instead of paint. Anytime I do a wood-working project, I just can't bring myself to paint it... nothing says Man Cave like lots of deep stained wood!
